Encouraging people to perform tasks in the most efficient way , is one of the biggest challenges managers. Many researchers such as Herzberg, Maslow, Freud, or even Aristotle, wrestled with the puzzle to understand why people carry out tasks which they are entrusted.
The said researchers, however, were not able to use the technological achievements of modern times, enabling literally have looked into the man and his brain. Their studies were based on external observation of human reaction, but today it is possible to examine the many complex reactions such as neurological disorders of the body to external stimuli.
In post'cie possible that I wanted to bring the Harvard Business Review znalezionyw artykół "Employee Motivation - A Powerful New Model" Nitin Nohria developed by Boris Grosberg, and Linda-Eling Lee. As before, when using the HBR, I will try to translate the main wontki, due to restricted access to their base.
This article was presented model of smallpox in the 2002 book, written by Paul R. Lawrence and Nitin Nohiria'e a titled "Driven: How Human Nature Shapes Our Choice." According to her, there are four main motivators: possessiveness, the need for ties, willingness to learn, a willingness to defend . It is these motivators are the source of all our behavior.
It is difficult to argue with the well-known wisdom, saying that increasing the motivation of employees directly affects the health of the company. The problem is the determination of factors, behaviors that contribute in a positive way to improve employee motivation.
Research on which this artykół przeproawdzone were at 385 employees twóch leading financial and IT sector and a 300 fimrach located on the Fortune 500 By zdeterminować overall level of employee motivation have been examined factors such as commitment, satisfaction, dedication and a willingness to resign.
Due to the fact that these four motivators are a regular part of our minds, directly affecting the emotions and our behavior, they will be presented individually.
- desire to have. We are determined to enter the posaidanie goods that increase our sense of wellbeing. We feel lucky if we meet this need and distress when deficiencies are noticed. This phenomenon involves not only material goods like food, clothing, houses, money, but also to experiences such as travel and entertainment. In addition, this group includes events that raise the social status such as promotion or a parking space. Willingness posaidania often results from comparisons to other people and what they have. This explains why people are not only interested in their own salaries, but also want to know how much others earn.
- need ties. In the wild many animals tworzypary, group, herd, but only people make up organizations, associations and nations. The need to bond is associated with strong emotions. For positive emotions jnależy love, a sense of care, while the negative is the solitude and anonymity. In this work it is very important, because employees feel happy with pride przynajleżności the organization, but they lose their morale when the organization is cheating.
- Desire to learn. People want to feel the meaning in what they do, so for example, try to strive to explore new theories. People are frustrated when they need to perform tasks that do not see the point, while tasks that enable them to boost their search for answers. Most important for motivating the workers at the employed is to allow the participation of Barnie in creating solutions that make sense.
- Willingness defense. All naturally try to defend itself against the dangers of both our possessions, achievements, friends and ideas. In simple terms it can be concluded that rakcja in emergencies is reduced to the primitive principle of "fight or flight" response, among the common profile among the animals. Among the people not only manifested in the form of aggressive behavior, but also the desire to introduce and egekwoania certain rules, for example through the courts. Providing defense leads to a sense of security and confidence, while the shortage in this factor increases the fear and resentment.
I enclose below a table showing ways to increase motivation through these four motivators.
